Sept. 8, 2018
President Trumps budget chief, Mick Mulvaney, expressed confidence to Republican donors on Saturday that the party would overcome a Democratic movement of hate in November, but he acknowledged Republicans could lose races where they have nominated candidates who are not seen as likable enough, like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
Speaking at a closed-door meeting in New York City alongside Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, Mr. Mulvaney insisted that Democrats and the media were exaggerating the political threat facing Republicans this fall: They want you to think theres a blue wave when theres not, he said, according to an audio recording of his remarks that was obtained by The New York Times from a person at the meeting.
But Mr. Mulvaney, who leads both the Office of Management and Budget and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, conceded that Republicans had nominated poor candidates in places and might struggle to defend a huge number of open House seats where Republican incumbents decided not to run for re-election.
He pointed to the Senate races in Texas and Florida as examples where candidate quality could be decisive.
